What are some factors to consider when you’re looking for a home with your partner?

Cupid’s Advice:

When you decide to move in with your partner, look for a safe happy home with enough space for both of you. Here are some tips:

1. Be economical: You may have always dreamed of living in that penthouse or having the nicest house on the block, but if you can’t afford it yet, don’t force the issue. No one wants to end up in foreclosure or not being able to pay the rent.

2. Embrace your space: Living in a studio apartment together may be a big money saver, but when it comes to your personal space, it won’t be the best choice. Go for a one bedroom instead where you can still live together, but spend time apart.

3. Safety: Aside from trying to live in a safe area, if you’re planning on having children, look for a childproof residence around a good school system.
